1. Interview of Margaret M. Lyon on her service as a civilian teacher for the U.S. Army in France, Italy, and Japan

Description:
Margaret M. Lyon talks about her service as a civilian teacher for the U.S. Army in France and Italy from September 1956 to July 1958 and in Japan from August 1960 to June 1961. Lyon says she taught at an elementary school in Louisville, KY before going overseas with the Army and talks about her pay, her responsibilities teaching the children of military personnel, the diverse backgrounds of her students and adjusting to working in very close quarters. Lyon says that she returned to the states after serving in Europe, but took a similar job with the Navy two years later in Japan teaching American dependents and teaching English to Japanese students on a volunteer basis. She also talks about traveling extensively in Japan and throughout Asia. Lyon is interviewed by Dorothy M. Harrison.
